March 5, 2015: Full Moon In Virgo

Welcome to March's Full Moon in Virgo. Here are some of the names for this full moon: Storm Moon, Seed Moon, Moon of Winds, Crow Moon, Plow Moon. It is a time of exploration and new beginnings, balance and seeking clarity.

The phase of the moon represents the energy of the day and the sign is the mood of the day.

The Full Moon is a time of high energy. Everything is at it's maximum. Everything is increased (including creativity)...but can also have anxiety too over the energy of this time. Both the Full Moon and New Moon are when the moon has it's strongest pull on the Earth, because it is the 2 times that Sun, Moon and Earth are lined up. We see this reflected in our tides which are highest on the New and Full Moon. While the Full Moon is energy at maximum, the New Moon is moving inwards.

Virgo's Element is Earth. The colours she is represented by are green, black and grey (which I used as inspiration in this weeks journal page. The sign of Virgo (looks like an M with a diagonal line) represents a woman holding a sheath of wheat. Representing there is work to be done, tine to harvest, so it makes sense that some of the above themes are with Virgo, they can also sometimes be accompanied with worry.

The body part that is associated with Virgo is the intestines for its ability to analyze and digest food.

Full Moon Journal Page Videos: PASSWORD for all of them is: moon2015

In the videos below I begin by working with and writing about my own personal values. I googled personal values and lots of documents and sites had lists to choose from. Here is the one I used.

After journaling about values and narrowing them down to five, I start my page with some collage.

Choosing a new colour scheme for me this week Green, Black, and Grey (with white, neon pink, and some gold). The first 3 colours I chose as they are the colours that represent the moon in Virgo.

After playing with colour add some words, phrases, or something from your journal to your page

Play with details, create symbols out of your journal instead of words (for example, for me growth equaled water, so I put waves on my page, I also glued a feather)

add some glitter :)

Final step: free write about what came up to you while working on this page. How are you feeling during this full moon? What messages is your page telling you? what questions does it have for you? You could write this as a letter from your page to you. What would your page say if it could speak.
